GOOD TEAdPLARs.
Aennebec District Lodge at Riverside.
Especial 70 the Kennebec Journal

Special 70 the Kennebec Journal
VAssALBoRo, Nov 80.
The third quarterly session of Kennebec
District Lodge of Good Templars, met with
riverside Lodge, Nov. 27, at Riverside yes
terday, IN their new and commodious hall
built and owned by that lodge The day was
pleasant and the attendance very good. There
were hfteen lodges represented, which was
an extra good attendance. Thirty members
OF the several lodges took the new distric.
lodge degrees. The private work was given
by those initiated by Grand Secretary Geo.
+. Bracket, after which a recess was given
for the purpose of partaking of the bountiful
dinner prepared for them.
At the last session of the district lod ge at
Winthrop it was decided to divide the work
which has heretofore been placed upon the
shoulders of the ID. T., by giving to each
member of the district council a certain num-
Der of the lodges, under our jurisdiction, and
for them to visit their appointed lodges once
at least during the quarter. The report of
the council was as general thing very en-
couraging and that thus divided, the work is
not only more beneficial to the district but
much easier to accomplish, which before it
was almost impossible for one man to do.
The session was one of great credit 10 the
county, and there was much interest mani
Tested throughout
The next session of the district lodge is to
be holden with Maranacook Lodge No $40,
of Readfield.
\ public meeting was held in the evening
in which a very good programme rem
dered. In a very feeling and sympathetic
manner the following was presented by b. c.
Torsey:
Whereas, our Creator in his infinite wisdom
has deemed it best to summon from earthly
scenes our noble leader, the head of Good
Templars of the world, the Hon. John b.
Finch of Chicago, therefore be it
Resolved, That we consider it wisely ap-
propriate and duty incumbent as district
lodge of this order, to take this recognizance
of his early death and unfinished labors with
mournful consideration, ever remembering
hlm as noble hearted, magnanlmous
leader gifted orator, a great thinker and a
wise writer, who accomplished much, and
was destined to accomplish much more had
he not been called across the river dark and
cold to brighter scenes, not cursed with
rum. We greatly deplore his death but
honor his memory.
The following resolve was also adopted
Resolved, That vote of thanks be ten

courtesies shown Us as district lodge, by

THE DEADLY DRUG


CHICAGO, Nov. 80.
DIR. Charles Bradley, the Chicago hysician
who was arrested two years ago in that city
for his experimenting on his wife and chill
dren with cocaine, is himself victim of the
deadly drug. After his discharge he contin-
ued the use of morphine and cocaine until
his irregular habits and irresponsible actions
lost him his practice, which at one time was
large. DR.. Bradley came to New York about
two months ago, and has lived chiefly in the
streets. To obtain the drug, which had now
become a necessity to his existence, he re-
sorted to the most desperate methods, which
at length caused his arrest. He confessed to
being vagabond and asked to be sent to
some institution for II or 10 months, in the
hope that his terrible habit could be cured.
He was committed for six months, which is
the limit for vagrancy cases.
